Chef Wang, who was born in a family of culinary arts, knows well that any well-known chef who does not hide his signature dishes is afraid of being imitated by others. The little girl in front of her didn't blink her eyes, and passed on the secret recipe. He rubbed his hands embarrassingly, and said: "Miss Yu, how about...you go home and ask the adults at home before making a decision?"

"You don't need to ask, I figured this out on my own, and my family doesn't know about it yet! If you don't believe me, just ask my brother!" Yu Xiaocao waved her hand, not taking it seriously.

After getting a positive answer from Yu Hang on Wednesday, Young Master Zhou thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then I will accept your big gift. If anything happens to you in the future, feel free to come to Zhou Zhou's old house in town to find me! "

Yu Xiaocao grinned, and thought, "Boy, I'm just waiting for your words!"

"By the way! The weather is relatively hot now. It's best to store this oyster sauce in the ice cellar, and it can't be more than a month!" Yu Xiaocao touched the money in her bosom, warned her, and prepared to leave.

"Don't worry! These oyster sauces seem to be a lot. With the traffic of Zhenxiu Restaurant, they can be used for ten or eight days, which is not bad!" Chef Wang put the oyster sauce into the jar, and stroked it as if he was holding a peerless treasure. Can't bear to let go.

At this time, the number of guests in Zhenxiu Restaurant gradually increased, and the back kitchen began to get busy. Zhou Zixu ordered that green vegetables in oyster sauce be added to the menu of Wu County Magistrate's birthday banquet.

Chef Wang took out the abalone, thinking about how to make this top-quality abalone into a delicacy that can shock people's hearts.

Yu Xiaocao couldn't help reminding: "It can be made into 'steamed abalone with garlic', and if guests can't eat garlic, they can also use oyster sauce instead of abalone! Oyster sauce can cook a lot of delicious food, Chef Wang will take his time thinking about it. "

The two brothers and sisters left the Zhenxiu Restaurant while Young Master Jiang and shopkeeper Jiang personally sent each other off on Wednesday. At this time, it happened that the young master of Wu County Magistrate came directly from school and saw this scene.

Young Master Zhou, who is neither humble nor overbearing among many famous sons, is actually so polite to a pair of ragged brothers and sisters who are not much better than beggars. He was extremely surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Young Master Zhou, who are those two who make you look so differently?"

Zhou Zixu cupped his hands, and restored the calmness of the past: "Brother Wu, school is over early today, huh? Go, go! I got a few ounces of cloud mist, which is fragrant and sweet, and the soup is clear. It's very delicious. rare!"

Drinking tea is Mr. Wu's only elegant hobby. Hearing this, he immediately forgot his curiosity about his little siblings, and brought Zhou Zixu into the elegant room.

"Brother! Let's go shopping!! What do you want to eat, I'll treat you!" Yu Xiaocao has money in his hands, and his back is straight, with an aura of wealth and wealth.

Yu Hang nodded amusedly at her forehead, and then said with a sense of desolation: "There is no separation in the family, and all the income has to be handed over. If grandma finds out about this amount of money, there will be no peace. I think it's still..."

Yu Xiaocao clutched her purse on her chest, looked at him vigilantly, and said displeasedly:

"My father didn't turn in enough money from hunting and fishing! Our big family, as well as the family of my uncle who is studying in the town, aren't they all raised by my father? Adults are enough to support the family. We don’t need to let them know about us little extra money!”

Yu Hang was about to say something else, but Yu Xiaocao interrupted him by jumping: "Hand in! Hand in!! Grandma is what you are used to!! Do the math, how much of the money dad handed in is used on us? You are not allowed to tell others about this money, otherwise you are not my brother!!"

Seeing Xiaocao's resolute attitude, Yu Hang didn't say anything, but repeatedly asked: "Then you must keep it, don't let grandma and the people in the big house know..."

"I'll take care of things, don't worry!!" Yu Xiaocao patted her chest to assure her. As long as the money is in hand, everything will be fine for Xiaocao, and she happily takes her elder brother on the first shopping trip in ancient times.

While shopping, Yu Xiaocao did a research on prices. Taking the grain store as an example, coarse grains such as millet flour and potato flour cost two yuan a catty; Wen Yijin.

High-quality pork costs 20 Wen a catty; a live fat chicken costs 40 Wen a catty...

Although the imperial court is trying to stabilize prices, most of the people who have just passed their birthdays a few years ago are similar to the fishermen in Dongshan Village, living a tight life.

The more Yu Xiaocao walked around, the more emotional she felt: the new society is better! No matter how hard it was when I was a child, it can't be as hard as the present day! Being used to being the elder sister and taking things on her shoulders, she began to silently plan how to make a fortune silently so that her family could live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

"Big meat buns! Delicious meat buns!!" The hawker's loud shout interrupted her thoughts.

Gulu Gululu... When they came out early in the morning, the brothers and sisters, who hadn't eaten a grain of rice, sang the song of the five internal organs in unison.

Yu Xiaocao touched her shriveled stomach, sniffed the smell of steamed buns in the air, waved her small fists, and said loudly, "Go! Go eat steamed stuffed buns!!"

"Four big meat buns and two bowls of egg soup!" Xiaocao walked to a low table by the side of the road and sat down, not forgetting to call Yu Hang over for dinner. We don’t have the money to go to the big restaurant, so you can eat whatever you want at the roadside stalls!

When Yu Hang went to the city with his father, he was never willing to spend a penny. With a wave of the little girl's hand, more than a dozen pennies went out. You know, a dozen coins can soon buy two catties of white rice and three catties of white flour...

"I... I'll eat steamed buns with steamed noodles and drink some water..." Yu Hang planned to get breakfast for a penny.

Knowing that he was used to frugality, Yu Xiaocao quietly counted twelve copper coins and quietly handed them to the young man selling breakfast. The young man cleverly took four buns, and asked his wife to serve them two bowls of soup.

"Hey! I bought something and paid for it! Hurry up and eat it!!" Yu Xiaocao took a bun and stuffed it into Yu Hang's hand. Take a big bite yourself.

Hmm - the ancient meat buns are affordable! The skin is thin, the stuffing is rich, and it tastes delicious in one bite! Maybe it was because she was very hungry, Xiaocao felt that there was no more delicious food like steamed stuffed buns.

After a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of egg soup, and two steamed buns with a bowl of soup, Xiaocao burped beautifully. So full! After wearing it for several days, I have never eaten it so moist! ! Money is good! ! Xiaocao strengthened her belief in saving private money.

After all, Yu Hang was still a ten-year-old child. Seeing that his sister was eating deliciously, he couldn't help but quietly took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun. After taking the first bite, I couldn't stop, and before I knew it, I swallowed all the food. Touching her bulging belly, she smiled a little embarrassedly.

"This steamed stuffed bun is so delicious! Buy some for your parents and Xiao Shitou!" Yu Xiaocao didn't have the habit of eating alone. Little Shitou, my sister still thinks of you when she has delicious food, isn't that interesting

Yu Hang's pretty brows frowned: "The one who bought the father, mother and younger siblings, of course we can't miss other people! But, grandma will definitely ask about the source of the money. Isn't it time to reveal the truth?"
